Most theives are poor, but most crime is committed by a very small number of people who are opportunitiest. Remove the oppertunity and you remove the criminal.

I can already locate my stolen device through find my. If anything I want Apple to be even harder on this so that no used component could be put anywhere else and work. Ideally I would be able to remote detonate the battery to deter thieves

Its not a bad idea, but its like phone trees: abused by so many places the only thing I can do is try to get a human.

Do you think things would change if you stopped following the news? If you take the time you follow the news now and spend it voluenteering at an LGBT group, do you thing that would do more or less for your cause than watching the news?

But then the question you should be asking is, is this the best way to understand what is going on in the world? I would strongly say it isn't. If you can wait 2-3 weeks you can catch up on events much quicker by reading the relevant w

My email is better when quotes are colored differently, when links are clickable and when tabular data is presented as such. I define better in the Aristotelian sense - the emails job is to convey information into my brain and my argument i

Recently I moved my mail accounts back to Thunderbird - and wouldn't you know it, I can open new tabs there too. I can also make those tabs proper windows and use my window managers built in positioning (or lack thereof, curse Mac OS).

You don't actually need a smartphone, which is good because a lot of older people do not have them or can't use them. I think people sometimes forget that you can inconvinience a waitress without being an asshole about it (they ar

It means that prices for diesel generators go through the roof. People solve problems and no power is a big problem.

The standard used to be about 22 episodes a year, so that is an episode every two weeks. Many shows ran for at least 5 years, and some ran forever (days of our lives would be one example). So I don't think that is the problem. What is

>This makes no sense: manufacturers are competing with each other, if the prices on the cheapest phones will increase more then surely someone will exploit that. You assume it costs nothing to maintain software for old phones.

I think it was Carl Newport who wrote that you should only use social media for your intended purposes and that you should use what technology (I think he said tool) is most effective for your particular needs. The above is obviously my wor

As long as it has any impact on weight, battery size, water tightness or make the device bigger its a deal breaker for me.

That is the first good suggestion I have seen in this thread. We just need to make it illegal to not allow you app to run on an open device.

That's not great - those devices really do not have space for a replaceable battery. And no, I don't want them bigger than they already are.

Could be anything from a SPA that has to be reloaded entirely to loading a ton of 3rd party JS to work with all those login with options.

Reddit has been very pushy about getting people email address. Fortunately I only gave them it for my original account, which I don't care about being tied to me.

With the amount of money I spent on my car (which is not a lot compared to what most people spend) I could have saved several people by donating to givewell, at a comparatively trivial inconvinience of having to bicycle/take the bus to

The oldest iphone to get the new ios 17 (to be released this fall) was released in 2018. Thats 5 years out. As for Macs, it doesn't matter. You can, and people will, install Chrome on them anyway.

After seeing stacks of naked corpses when Ukraine retook Bucha, it became obvious that Russia would do that to the rest of the country too if Ukraine stopped fighting. His opinion is as legitimate as saying the halting problem is trivially

It has been happening inarguably for some time now, we need to accept that we won’t convince the last group and switch over to figuring out what we can do about it. Because I am not seeing much about that, certainly not from the activists.

Sorry, but he is right on that - if 0.001% really hate you and you have millions of users, then you have a lot of crazy people.

The problem with that is to agree on what is acceptable social behaviour. Trust me, lots of places would have issues with oil companies, others with porn and so one.

I think it can be possible, but only as a closed community of people who have all been vetted first and who, most importantly, can be can be banned for bad behaviour. Setting up such a network might be profitabel (lots of people spend quite
